Re: Marvell Yukon gigabit cards

For what it's worth -
The earlier SysKonnect drivers do not work correctly in 2.6.5 kernels.
 I had trouble getting my Intel 915GEV mb (with the Marvell) working
with FC2.  The sk98lin driver in FC2 doesn't work at all with this
chip.

The latest SysKonnect driver does work -reasonably- well, I still get
periodic disconnects.
